slight injuries to personnel or damage to the instrument or the
environment.
Other labels
Note
indicates notes that draw your attention to special features.
Note
indicates cross-references to other documents.
2.1 Target group and user qualification
The photometer was developed for use in the laboratory. Carrying out
photometric determinations with the aid of test sets frequently requires the
handling of hazardous substances.
We assume that the operating personnel know how to handle hazardous
substances due to their professional training and experience. The operating
personnel must particularly be able to understand and correctly implement
the safety labels and safety instructions on the packages and inserts of the
test sets.
